Question

Let f: (−π / 2, π / 2) → R be given by f (t) = tan^−1(t).

 

 

a) What is Taylor's polynomial P1 (t) of order 1 f if t = 0? What is the remainder
E1 (t) in Taylor's formula f (t) = P1 (t) + E1 (t)?

 

b)Use Taylor's residual formula to give an estimate of π / 4 = tan ^ −1
(1) (without
to use the π button on the calculator): Show that the residual term E1 (1) is in between
−1 and 0 and that π / 4 is equal to P1 (1) - 1/4 = 3/4 with an error less than 1/4.
